Scenarios under Linux Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Hi there. I love Civ 2 scenarios, but I am now a Linux user (Mandrake 9).
Is there any way I can still enjoy Civ2 scenarios without booting Windows?
Wine/Winex cannot run Civ2. VMWare doesn't work w/ Mandrake 9. Win4Lin is expensive and I don't know whether it would do the job either. Bochs won't boot Win98 for me. I don't think Civ2 scenarios are compatible with Freeciv, either.

Is there any way I can play the Civ2 scenarios I love?

Thank you,
vaustein

P.S. I cross-posted to the Civ2 - General Help forum. I hope that's all right.

Good to see a linux user. Windows is one of the most evil products ever to be produced by western capitalism.. OOPS... no further political comments here

Really? One would have thought that WinG is much easier to emulate (err, not-emulate) than DirectX.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

Was it just CTP and AC, or was there a Linux version of ToT as well?

Excellent question. I looked into a Linux-native Civ: ToT before I posted this thread.

The only reference I could find to a ToT Linux port was this strange message originating from comp.os.linux.announce:

Last time when I tried (6 months ago), Civ2 ran on wine. But that's about it: it took ages to move a unit, so it was totally unplayable.

Well, I guess there is no hope until Infogrames(?) deigns to follow in the footsteps of iD and 3DRealms by opensourcing Civ2.

OR until Civ2 scenario support is added to Freeciv.

A man can dream...
